A legacy carried forward

Before this handbag existed, there was a mother. A Liberian woman who carried strength in her walk and softness in her voice. She crossed borders, raised daughters, made sacrifices — all with quiet elegance.

Close Look is my tribute to her, and to every matriarch of the diaspora. Each handbag is highly customizable, crafted with care, and designed for women who want to carry more than things — women who carry meaning.

No two stories are alike. No two Close Look bags are the same.
